Industry Canada (IC) Compliance - "This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class A limits for radio noise emissions from digital apparatus set out in the Radio Interference Regulations of the Canadian Department of Communications." IC Registration Number: 2132 6030 A Load Number: 3 1.9 Modes and Special Functions 1.9.1 Normal Mode: Normal mode is the standard mode of operation in which the UNI•COM monitors host FACP status as well as telephone line voltage.
2.0 Installation and Wiring 2.1 General 2.2 Output Circuits For information on installing the UNI•COM in a specific ADT fire alarm control panel, refer to the appropriate Appendix. Telephone Circuits Provision to connect to two independent telephone lines is available via two telephone jacks labeled PH1 (Primary) and PH2 (Secondary). Telephone line control/ command is possible via double line seizure as well as usage of an RJ31X style interconnection. (RJ31X jacks must be ordered separately).
Relay Driver The UNI•COM's open collector output on TB3, terminal 2 is provided for Communicator Failure and UNI•COM trouble. It can be used to drive UL listed relay MR-101/ C or MR-201/C. The output is rated for 40 mA and is power-limited. The normal condition for the output is Off (deenergized). Communicator Failure occurs when the maximum number of attempts to reach both central stations has taken place or when both phone lines are disconnected.
SLC Loop to Fire Alarm Control Panel M-300 Series Monitor Module Wiring in same room as UNI•COM TB3 All wiring to relay must be in same room within 20 feet of UNI•COM and in conduit. 3.9K EOL Resistor (supplied) Earth Grnd Comm Fail +24 VDC DACT MR-101/C (MR-201/C may also be used) Note: 1) M-300 Series Monitor Module is used to supervise Normally Closed output of M-101/C. On DACT trouble and Comm Fail, MR-101/C relay contact will open causing M-300 to transmit trouble condition to FACP.
2.3 UL Powerlimited Wiring Requirements Power-limited and nonpower-limited circuit wiring must remain separated in the cabinet. All power-limited circuit wiring must remain at least 0.25" away from any nonpower-limited circuit wiring. Furthermore, all power-limited circuit wiring and nonpower-limited circuit wiring must enter and exit the cabinet through different knockouts and/or conduits. A typical wiring diagram for the UNI•COM is shown below.
3.0 Programming Instructions Programming Mode Programming of the UNI•COM is possible at any time including while the UNI•COM is communicating with a central station. The UNI•COM has a built-in programmer. All programming selections are stored in nonvolatile Electrically-Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory (EEPROM). This ensures that the UNI•COM will retain all entries made in programming mode even if power is removed.
Throughout programming mode, the first three locations on the left of the display represent the memory address which can range from 00 to 164 (Alpha characters are not used). The last location (farthest right) represents the contents of the memory address. The first address displayed is shown below: 00_F (address)(data) 3.
Valid entries for both the primary and secondary phone numbers are 0 - F with the numeric digits as dialed numbers and hexadecimal digits (A-F) representing the following functions: A= * on a Touchtone phone keypad B= # on a Touchtone phone keypad C= look for secondary dial tone for up to 2 seconds (then, dial anyway) D= 3-second pause E= 5-second pause F= end of phone number (Note: F must be entered) Primary Number Communication Format (16) One location is needed to select the Communication Format to the p
Secondary Number 24/12 Hour Test Time (49) The test message sent to the Secondary phone number may be sent every 12 or 24 hours. If the message is to be sent every 24 hours, leave the factory default entry of zero. If a 12 hour test report time is needed, enter 1=12 hours. Start Monitoring Address (50-51) is programmed to indicate the first group of zones or points to be monitored and reported to the central station. Default is '01'. Valid entries are '01, 02, 03 and 04'. See Table 3-1.
AC Loss Reporting Delay (60) '1' is factory default which causes a 6 hour time delay for AC loss reporting. Valid entries are 0 to 9 and A to F corresponding to the following reporting delay times: '1' = 6 hour, '2' = 7 hours, '3' = 8 hours, '4' = 9 hours, '5' = 10 hours, '6' = 11 hours, '7' = 15 hours, '8' = 16 hours, '9' = 17 hours, 'A' = 18 hours, 'B' = 19 hours, 'C' = 20 hours, 'D' = 21 hours, 'E' = 22 hours and 'F' = 23 hours. '0' entry causes immediate reporting of AC loss.
Programming Event Codes (99-168) A description of the type of reports with reported 'event code' that are sent to the central station appear in Tables 3-2 and 3-3. Entering a transmit selection of '0' will cause the communicator to inhibit transmission of the report. Transmission of reports to either or both central station phone numbers may be disabled. Note the special 'System Abnormal Test Report' event code. This report was added per new UL DACT requirements.

4.0 Operating Instructions 4.1 Normal Mode The UNI•COM has six Modes of operation; Normal, Program, Walktest, Troubleshoot, Type and Lamp Test. Upon initial power up, the system will be in Normal Mode. This section discusses operation of the UNI•COM in the Normal Mode. 4.1.1 Keys: Below is a description of the function keys in Normal Mode: MODE Pressing the Mode Key followed by a valid 4-digit numerical code and [ENTER/ STORE] selects one of the six modes of operation.
1st EVENT DOWN ARROW UP ARROW [ENTER/STORE] This key along with the UP Arrow and DOWN Arrow keys, are used to display UNI•COM fault conditions. Press the 1st EVENT key at any time to display the first event that occurred. Use the DOWN Arrow key to view other UNI•COM fault events (older) that have occurred and are active - not cleared yet. Use the UP Arrow key to view other UNI•COM fault events (newer), that have occurred and are active - not cleared yet.
Primary Line Primary Active Secondary Line Modem LED Secondary Active LED Kiss-Off LED Figure 4-1: UNI•COM Phone Connectors and LEDs 4.1.3 Normal Mode Operation: Normal mode is the standard mode of operation. In this mode, the UNI•COM monitors host FACP status, power input, EIA-485 communications and telephone line voltage. The four character 7-segment display is normally off and does not annunciate events that are being transmitted.
The UNI•COM meets NFPA 72 for Remote Station Protective Signaling Service and central station Signaling Service reporting requirements for: (a) the type of signal (b) condition and (c) location of the reporting premises. Since higher priority events take precedence over lower priority events, the UNI•COM will transmit higher priority events before sending the lower priority events. Priorities are as follows: Event Activations 1. General Alarm 2. Zone/Point Alarm #N 3. General Supervisory 4.
The 'general' reports for general fire, general supervisory and general fault are always transmitted (unless disabled). Zone or point information will follow the general reports if enabled. 4.1.4 Key Report Descriptions Serviceman on Premises This report is generated any time that the serviceman enters a 4-digit code into the UNI•COM that matches the entry programmed into addresses 62-65.
EIA-485 Communications Trouble Report The UNI•COM supervises the integrity of the information received from the FACP via the EIA-485 communications bus. Should the communications bus malfunction, the UNI•COM transmits the report '485 comm trouble.' When the communications bus returns to proper operation, the UNI•COM will report '485 comm trouble restoral.' The EIA-485 communications bus is supervised when the UNI•COM is configured for receive only or receive/transmit operation.
Zone or Point Restoral Report Zone or point restoral reports are not transmitted to the UCS unless the zone or point is fully cleared of both alarm and trouble conditions. Walktest Begin and End Reports • Serviceman Walktest: Once a correct Serviceman Code is entered, Walktest Mode may be entered. In Walktest Mode, the serviceman has the option of transmitting all system walktest activity to the UCS or not reporting the activity to the UCS.
The UNI•COM will not transmit any system walktest data unless the UCS receiver (central station) first acknowledges receipt of the Begin Walk Test report. This is an added precaution to insure that the walktest data is not misinterpreted at the central station as a live report. Exit walktest mode by entering the Serviceman off Premises code or return to an alternate mode by entering the appropriate 4-digit code for that mode. Users should enter the Normal Mode by entering code 6676.
4.3.1 Disabling of Zones or Points This feature is primarily used when system points have been defined as remote reset, acknowledge, silence or drill switches. Refer to the FACP Technical Manual for additional information. Activation of remote switches appear as alarms on the EIA-485 bus while in point type of annunciation. The UNI•COM will report these points as fire alarm points unless disabled in the Type Mode.
A handset may be temporarily connected across transformer T1 as indicated in Figure 4-2. The handset, when connected across T1, may be used only as an amplifier/speaker or telephone with the UNI•COM used for number dialing. Both Primary and Secondary Lines Figure 4-2: Handset/Speaker Connection 4.5 Lamp Test Mode To perform a Lamp Test, press MODE then 5267 followed by [ENTER/STORE]. This will test all system LEDs. The LEDs will stay on for five seconds, then the UNI•COM will return to normal mode.
